According to TitleOne CEO Mark Tidd, Sun Valley Title is the “perfect fit” for TitleOne in terms of geographic desirability, history and customer service.

“Adding Sun Valley Title to the TitleOne family will expand our servicing capability into more counties, with new locations and the addition of an outstanding team,” Tidd said.

“The Sun Valley Title team has a long-standing history of delivering outstanding service to the Blaine County market—which is aligned with TitleOne’s commitment to our team and customers throughout Idaho,” Tidd added.

Under the terms of the deal, the Sun Valley Title team members will become part owners of TitleOne, and retain their current position. Cassie Jones, Sun Valley Title’s manager, will continue to lead operations.

“We’re very fortunate to benefit from TitleOne’s well-earned reputation as an industry leader, and look forward to providing our customers with TitleOne’s innovative technology and breadth of experience and knowledge,” Jones said.

With the expansion, TitleOne now has 15 total offices and more than 200 employees in the Ada, Canyon, Boise, Bonneville, Butte, Blaine, Kootenai, Minidoka, Cassia, Twin Falls, Jefferson, Jerome, Gooding and Lincoln counties.
